Many of us use make up almost every day. It may help to enhance one’s personal appearance and self-esteem but it also exposes the wearer to a range of health concerns. Using make up that contains harsh chemicals, comes at a price and is that price worth our health.
For years I had been using a “trusted” brand of makeup. My eyes were always burning and I assumed that it was caused by the pollen outside and I really struggled to look my best with red eyes and irritated skin. One day I decided to read the ingredients on the back label of my face powder and was horrified at the toxic ingredients it contained. I also learnt that many of the chemicals used in non-organic make up are downright poisonous to the endocrine system. Parabens and phthalates are two common examples of substances that are used extensively in cosmetics. Both of these compounds have been linked to cancer and type II diabetes. Enough, I thought and ended my suffering by switching to organic make up.
The question we need to ask is why on earth we would want to use harsh chemicals on our skin that are not only dangerous to our health but also to our planet. Do we want our skin to age prematurely? Do we want to increase our risk of suffering from a chronic disease? There’s certainly nothing beautiful about that.
Natural, organic make up is free from harsh chemicals, gentle on the skin and gives you peace of mind that no toxic chemicals are being absorbed by your skin. It is also eco-friendly and cruelty free. It only makes sense to use organic make up.
I decided to join the School of Natural Skincare and I learnt to formulate natural organic make up.
Our eyeshadows come in ten beautiful colours. Our face powders come in six shades. Our liquid foundation comes in seven shades designed to suit a wide variety of skin tones. Our lipsticks comes in five gorgeous colours. Our antioxidant rich eye pencils come in two colours, black and brown and our mascara comes in black.
All of the above were formulated with love and passion and your health in mind.
